The Gray Area

4. Loopholes

As a thriving empire faces war with ferocious barbarians, a
mischievous scholar named Minerva hopes to bring law and
civilization to a great realm populated by talking birds, giant
rats, gregarious knights, elemental gods, and menacing malasanders.
An unanticipated dispute among the knights gives Minerva an
opportunity to uphold the doctrine of moral principles, but Minerva
finds herself testing her loyalty to her aide-de-camp while helping
others to learn what honor, empathy, and identity really mean.
